Maptitude Reviews & Product Details

We were looking for something to use in lieu of Business Analyst, and this seems to do the trick, but for $30k cheaper. I have access to traffic counts, local businesses, demographic information, drive times, and aerial imagery, all at the tips of my fingers. The program is easy to use, as well; I did not have to spend much time reading instructions in order top get going on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Making layouts in Maptitude isn't quite as easy as in ArcMap, from what I can tell, every time I make changes to my map I need to make a new layout, as opposed to ArcMap where I am used to just working in layout mode to begin with. Also, I have yet to figure out how to make a point file from scratch. Also, the drive time rings are in increments as opposed to being able to set each ring separate (example: you can do drive times at 3, 6, 9, or 5, 10, 15, but not 1, 3, 5) .

Maptitude is a terrific GIS package. It does everything ARCGIS does but costs less than $700.

And for $395 a year you get access to great datasets that Caliper generates for free. It is user-friendly and if you have a problem either Caliper tech-help or a Google search will get you a solution. The datasets include locations of all business brands, medical locations, schools, and so on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really don't have anything about Maptitude that I don't like, except maybe the lack of a satellite view. I usually download to Excel or SPSS for modeling so I have not tried the modeling options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about this software are the spatial analysis tools. In addition to having good technical assistance to download cartographic information of the country you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only problem we got in the company was the installation of the program, since it was very difficult for us. On the other hand I think that the part should better design the graphics. It would also be important to develop it under the free software environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Maptitude since it first came out in Beta. At the time no other GIS program could handle the environmental justice/toxic mapping that I was doing. I used Maptitude and GISDK to create the very first nationwide toxic mapping for EDF. Maptitude still is the most powerful, easy to use and cost effective solution out there. I highly recommend.

Nothing comes to mind at all. Since the Beta version, Maptitude has done everything I ask of it and support is superb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need to pay attention to some of the initial quirks, but works well once you spend some time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not as easy as Mappoint. The interface does not provide for easy roll-ups, but you can do roll-ups once you figure out the process. By the way, support is fantastic about helping on specifics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maptitude is incredibly user-friendly. It can be very intimidating to use a new geospatial tool without formal training. With Maptitude, I started with no training and quickly became the in-house expert at my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The number of files created for each layer can cause a lot of cluster in file directories and sometimes previous maps may not work correctly if any of those files were misplaced or deleted on accident. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that when I create a mapping project, I can open it easily and quickly get back to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that the color palette is always a little different every year when I upgrade! Why can't they leave those colors alone? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This really is pretty easy to use and the data that is included is quite extensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drive time function is not stable. Try doing a 5 minute DT around 100 points and it really struggles and/or crashes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are a non-profit organization and each year volunteers deliver gift bags to all 930 member families in the Denver-metro area.. This year for the first time I used Maptitude to generate delivery routes for the volunteers. For the first time in a dozen years, we actually received feedback that the routes were easy. It encouraged volunteers to help. Maptitude is comprehensive. There is a learning curve with it. But the results are accurate and outstanding. All addresses could be mapped with Maptitude, not one was left out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a learning curve. It does so much it's difficult to sift through the features you need for your application. Their technical help desk is very helpful but you need to be specific about the problem you are having. They are hesitant to give you more than a tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maptitude is a very flexible mapping platform with a robust demographics package available for purchase. It is an excellent tool to generate custom maps with and perform spatial analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation is pretty basic. The web tutorials teach one how to use the rudimentary functions of Maptitude but in my opinion, not much more. If you want to make the software sing,you have to teach it the tune one your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
